Google has released a new feature for Docs that will make it easier to break down (and, later, find and access) information into separate sections. Is add tabs to Docsso you can “create content in a way that allows you to quickly find what you're looking for.” Instead of creating multiple Doc files or simply using headers to organize information, you can write whatever you want in different tabs, which will be much faster to analyze than one long document. Tabs could also make collaboration with classmates or coworkers less chaotic.
In its announcement, Google listed several examples of how tabs could help people. “A project manager,” the company wrote, “can create a tab for budget, roles and responsibilities, goals, and key dates so their team can stay on track.” In addition to Google's examples, we could also see that the feature is useful for authors, who can use separate tabs for their outlines, character profiles, plot plans, setting details, and other important notes.
Document tabs will occupy the left section of the Google Docs interface. You can create multiple sub-tabs under each tab if you want to break down the information that is supposed to be included in that section. If you edit a tab's name, you'll also be able to set an emoji to better represent what it is about, which will then replace the default article icon. The new feature has already started rolling out and will reach all Google Workspace users, as well as everyone with personal Gmail accounts, over the next 15 days.
